Power Steering pump adjustment solution

CPT Furious Asked in this post: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=67825 If someone had come up with a way to adjust the PS pump that was similar to the ALT, and AC adjusters. I said, since I was rebuilding my engine, I would look into it. This is what I came up with. I found a small bracket from a blown 7mge, cut off a section of it, and welded it on the adjuster bracket. I took a small length of threaded rod, and welded it to the adjuster bolt lower washer. The piece I welded on has a large hole in it, which allows the rod to follow the arc of pump movement. Cap it off with the appropriate size washer and nut, and some judicious grinding, and viola, you have it. Look! I have pictures!

P.S. This will be painted before placing it on the engine.

Works like a charm! I waited until I put the engine in the car, to make sure the adjuster hardware wouldn't hit anything in the bay. Fits beautifully. Well, that's all she wrote for this thread, hope this helps somebody out.
